LOL Dave, pretty sneaky! :picture:
I had a Great time hanging with you, learning the finer points of this fine hobby!
Great direction, and fantastic effort! :woohoo:
I took off the clamps a little while ago, and I'll weld her up this weekend, and drop her on the ground! :working:
Now that I have the WIRES correct, I may wanna spin those tires! ( :bigsmile:)

uh, Great time with clamps  :roflsmiley: :roflsmiley:








These areas need some work: The roof skin flanges are a little shy of the structure flange. :clueless: Still works.



More shots of the C pillar comin up.

Drove it down the driveway and turned it around tonight. Idles better, but still misfires like h@ll.

More work leading up to a full dry fit and then a test drive!

I scored some wheels on Craigslist, and couldn't resist the score.
I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I dig em.

Probably not 'till next year Steve. (running out of warm weather)
I need to get it the car seams leaded before I permanently affix the front and rear glass.
Then, I have a head scratcher....
I have to figure out how I need to remedy my rear quarter trim.  :banghead: :swear:
remember how I had to cut the  driver's QP to fit the decklid on? NOw that the gap lools good to the decklid, the Q trim molding does not fit. :clueless:
Anyway, I took it for my first ride down the street yesterday - as a police officer was driving by...hehehehehe
I can say that car was a bit "scary"  :ylsuper: :roflsmiley:
Many adjustments must be made before I can think about heading out into traffic.
